Happy Halloween!!!
October 31, 2011
Nick and I love Halloween, so much so, that our Halloween decor was out prior to the end of September. As yet another testament to what a crazy year 2011 has been, Nick and I looked at each other last night, in complete disappointment. Neither one of us bothered to suggest pumpkin carving this year, and that’s just sinful. So for all you longtime blog readers, there is no contest today. I will, however, give you a sneak peek at our Halloween decor…
We have a flock of black birds perched all over the house, bleeding candles, and the bust of Abe Lincoln (I’ll save that story for another post)…oh and the empty frame is just a reminder that something needs to eventually go there…I’m waiting for it to speak to me.
It’s a bit like Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds” around here, though Nick would suggest I meet those standards year-round.
We did, however, find time to attend a fun little Halloween Party with friends.

Wishing you all a safe, fun, and wonderful Halloween!!!
New Small Fingerprint / Thumbprint Tree Guestbooks
October 28, 2011
12×16 inch Thumbprint Tree Guestbooks are here! They are the perfect size for small weddings, baby showers, birthdays and family reunions. The best part about these little trees? You get the option of the standard black ink printed onto white paper OR chocolate ink printed onto natural paper. (available with and without moss) Sadly, I can only offer the chocolate ink and natural paper on the small trees at this time.
For more details, visit the Wedding Section of The Ink Lab.

Kingsley Plantation Tree Huntin’
October 23, 2011
I’m slowly broadening my Tree Hunt to other areas, with Amelia Island and Charleston at the top of my list. While visiting family in the Dina last weekend, Dad took me out on the bike to see Kingsley Plantation.
The house sits right on the water and is surrounded by weathered cedars and towering palms.
The tabby slave quarters are still standing and cotton still grows on the property.
…and just off the beaten path…
…a perfectly imperfect Live Oak, complete with sprawling branches draped with Spanish Moss and highlighted with Resurrection Fern. My photo doesn’t do it fair justice, but I sure hope the drawing will.
Thanks for an awesome adventure Dad!
